thanks for all of your orders, our terminator poster has begun its journey to being printed. due to the size of the edition, these will be printing in stages and shipping throughout october, possibly into november. we’ll do our best!
interested in sticker packs? still available right here, order as many as you like.
thanks again for all of the pre-orders on the poster, it seemed to go smoothly from my end. sarah reads all the feedback and lets me know when i screw things up. we are grateful for the support and kind words. i feel a bit like an ant, used to dealing with the normal breadcrumbs of compliments, suddenly having a loaf of bread dropped on me. i appreciate it all, just hard to get back to everyone.
edition size, it looks like we are landing somewhere between 3k and 4k, so that’s pretty amazing. i was hoping to sell 500 so i’m stoked. after printing fees and license fees, we won’t be making a billion dollars, still very blessed by the support. so thanks for that and hopefully we’ll be able to pick up a few other licenses down the road. Deep Rising anyone?
alright, i guess that’s it. email with questions or concerns, and til next time, smoke em if you got em
- wolf of snow hollow. looks good to me. creature effects will be key.
- escape from new york, the board game. hmmm…
- making of aliens. this looks fantastic.
- nolans batman behind the scenes. truly an amazing trilogy.
- sound of metal. this looks good.
- frank quitely studio tour. such an amazing artist.
- ah sucks. a classic actor. day of the jackal (the original) is one of my favorite films.
- love bug virus. interesting read.
captains log 0214: GET TERMINATED
well shoot, you’re back. if you’re interested in picking up a copy of my terminator poster, please go here.
No limit on the Regular edition.
Variant edition, limit one per person, those will be dropping throughout the next 12 hours randomly. if you order more than one, we’ll refund the whole order.
Shipping does increase with each additional poster, mostly because i can’t ship that many together. and shipping in the usa is 18$. holy smokes. times a changin.’
Also will have some sticker packs for sale tomorrow at 11AM. doing a special release in conjunction with sticker robot. should be fun.
FAQ
Q: any idea when the next variants might drop?
A: not til at least sometime after 7:55AM PST
Q: are these signed / numbered?
A: yes.
Q: why the short window?
A: it seemed fun to me.
Q: why not print more variants?
A: i like things the way i like them. rest assured, the regular edition is my favorite. that’s why its the regular.
Q: what’s the turnaround on these posters?
A: realistically, about a month. my printer can’t drop everything just to start printing them monday. we’re in the queue, it’ll happen, but i want them to turn out good, so that takes time. if you want it next week, print it out on your home computer to tide you over.

EDIT: didn’t do a good job of explaining. some confusion. apologies.
Tonight - 5 hours from now, 11:59PM PST - Regular version goes up for sale. timed edition for 12 hours. ends at 11:59 AM PST tomorrow. within that 12 hour span, i will drop the variants in a few different groupings. to allow for all nations to have equal chance to purchase. variants limit one per person. regulars, 1 billion per person.
then, tomorrow, different thing for sale at 11AM. completely different. non-terminator. non-movie related. different sort of fun.
——-
hey thanks for stopping by. i have some stuff for sale coming up. exciting. some stuff tomorrow at 11AM PST. some stuff tonight at 11:59PM PST. the stuff tonight will be a timed edition, so don’t stress it, it’ll be available tomorrow morning. why 11:59? because someone’s rights expire today if i don’t use them. its my own fault for putting everything off til the last minute.
but, the details are here - thanks to germain for offering to get the word out. should be fun, i think. regular edition, timed for 12 hours. variant edition, dropped randomly in a few groups make it available for the uk crowd as well as everyone else. don’t just sit there hitting refresh, the variant isn’t worth that stress in your life.
otherwise, nothing much else is new. sarah has the last of all the previous sticker packs shipping tomorrow, so hopefully you are getting tracking. let us know if they don’t arrive, or arrive in bad condition. thanks again.
Question? lemme know.
captains log 0212
well first off, for those of you (both) wondering if the stouts are surviving the fires in the pac nw, the answer is yes. 2 hours to most directions might be a fiery inferno, but here in brush prairie all is fine. other than the smoke filled air and orange skies. so, all is well. your orders will still ship out.
speaking of orders, stickers should arrive this week so we’ll begin shipping stickerpacks this week. look for shipping notifications once sarah begins. sorry again for the delay. we’ll also have a new sale for some other stuff, hopefully soon. not used to having two sales in such close proximity, so we’ll see how that goes.
til then, some interesting links that are relevant to my interests
- first and foremost, these minecraft songs - house / shut / monster / wither. its all my kids listen to.
- but it’s not all i listen to, i am a man of taste. seriously though, if you haven’t heard the soundtrack to the decent movie ARKANSAS, its got some real FLips classics.
- also worth listening to - BSBD’s noir
- will this be good? time will tell. wasn’t blown away by Peninsula or #Alive. alas.
- this ghostbusters promo is a sight for sore eyes. can we go back?
- we lost sir ken recently. this was a great talk by him. goodbye ken.
- well this is nutty. GET ME THAT SUBSCRIPTION. talk about in it for the long haul.

well thanks again for your orders everyone, sarah is still sorting through them and will ship once the stickers arrive, which might be a week still. we’ll also have some other sticker packs, different than these, for sale in a bit. not laser related, but cool in a different way. plus a poster or two, fingers crossed.
til then, my online gallery show KOLCUT'S© SUMMER 2020 EDITION® has come and gone. the video quality was pretty suspect, looked like two pixels rubbing their hands together to stay warm, but hopefully it wasn’t a complete waste of time. i still have a few pieces available on the fleabay, ending later today. and here is a short writeup that contains no useful information, but might be interesting for those curious.

greetings and salutations.
i have some stickerpacks, some papercuts, some woodcuts, some moe cuts. i got a lot. for those interested, you can head over here to check them out.
a bit more info: the stickerpacks all include a paper lasercut, aka radiation burns. i think they’re all winners, but to help people narrow down what they’re hoping to get, these are organized by years. still random, just slightly less random.
also, some woodcuts are available. they’re all one-offs, i wasn’t sure how to price them, so sarah took care of it and put them on the dreaded ebay. we’ll see how that goes. down in flames i assume.
lastly, or firstly, i have a poster i did recently for the band moe. that too is up for sale. i am pretty pleased with how it turned out.
questions? ask away. otherwise, appreciate your orders and will update here as things progress.
captains log 0209
sooo, finally wrapped up these woodcuts, i was expecting to have them wrapped up for a sale this past monday, but here we are, thursday. if i was dependable, i would have been an accountant. or possibly a farmer.
regardless, i’m planning on having a bit of a homemade gallery show on my instagram for these woodcuts…hopefully today. and stickerpacks/radiation burn paper cutouts for sale tomorrow. there will be no shortage of them. it will be a very relaxed stress-free sale. i know its hard to believe, but it will be. the world is stressful enough without me adding to it.
sorry again for the lateness, not a marketing ploy on my part. unless i was marketing myself as unreliable and last minute. then yes this would be very ‘on brand.’
captains log 0208: ahoy salers
this upcoming week i have a sale, a moe poster, stickerpacks with Kolcuts: RADIATION BURNS, some crazy wood one-offs that i’ve been making for fun. just a very varied assortment of stuff, something for everyone. or at least somethings for some people.
technically its a presale, since my stickers are printing currently and aren’t in hand, but some of this stuff can ship now, so it’ll just be a matter of what people order. anywho, just a heads up, if you’re on my mailing list you’re get the note. til then
- black water abyss. got bad reviews but i enjoyed it. i like killer croc movies.
- this hbo making of feature is pretty cool.
- these Bill Sienkiewicz panels are awesome. the time Mœbius and Hayao Miyazaki chatted.
- the life of matt reid. i remember these covers.
- cold steel. man, serious business!

greetings pandemiconians, we are using your brain’s electrical system as a receiver. strange things are afoot at the circle t…stout. on that note, i have a sale coming up (i know i know). the big question is, to presale or not presale. i like having things in hand to ship, like stickers. but doing a presale, hey, you get the assurance of ownership while i get the funds to pay for printing. a real catch 42.
regardless, some sticker packs, some laser cuts, some wood cuts, heck even a movie poster assuming we get this sucker approved. as always, i appreciate your patience. til then:
- any phishheads know which of these colorways was actually sold on 12/30/09? this question is for charlie.
- also, i recently left dropbox and joined a new cloud storage option, pcloud. lousy name but great reviews. anywho, if i recommend people and they sign up, i get extra gigs of storage myself. as do you. that’s what we call win win. SO, if you were going to try it out anyways, use this link and i’ll get free storage for all of my super critical files like this.
- look at this kid. i tell ya, kids. skateboards. mtv. pizza pockets.
- lynch vs lucas / hitchcock vs spielberg / wolverine doc / willows legacy
- tunes: reckless / jimmy ruffin / daltrey vs daltrey / restless (RUNNING MAN)

avast ye lubbers, what a month. what a week. what a day. new poster for the band moe coming out, should be fun. gathering things together for a release. if its worth doing once, its worth doing right. that’s someone’s motto. not mine, but i’m sure someone’s.
til then, let the links rain down like rain
- BEHIND THE SCENES WITH ALEX ROSS. amazing work alex. HOW DOES HE DO IT? now i know.

well shoot, almost halfway through summer. or maybe more than halfway. gotta say, strange things afoot at the circle USA these days. hope everyone is doing ok. i’m going to presell some packs pretty soon, just to raise funds for some printing costs, so watch for that. but no hidden sales in this post, just a chance to link some tunes, enjoy the sounds of yesteryear.
some oldies that i’ve linked a few times before, but hey, music is the soundtrack of our lives.
- genghis khan / blockhead / breezeblocks / panda bear
- el p’s rejected blade runner score
- ye olde whyte strypes

- instead of quarantine, we could all be doing this. no. no. no thank you.

well shoot, things settling down yet? or getting worse? bit of column A, bit of column B. we’ve lost some greats, both in the world, in our neighborhoods, in our households. time marches on, but man, its been a rough one.
STILL, i do have a sale coming up, how to handle it with the appropriate tstout finesse is always the trick. if you’re on my mailing list, you’ll get the word. otherwise, keep watching the mines.
- speaking of the worldwide pandemic, this was something.
- friendly reminder that bladerunner has come to pass at last.
- and a nice summary of 2020 so far
- enter the world of david lynch. amazing man.
plus i’ll have some sort of tstout.com/secretpassword for a few of these cutouts at some point, for those that missed out. not the main sale, just a ‘hey, fun thing’ for a few people. but it’ll require using the ol mellon i would imagine. edit: people cracked the case. but hopefully legit sale coming…eventually?
edit: also, if people have framed these cutout KolCuts™, i’d love to see a picture. might make a little online gallery of framing jobs, kinda neat.

greetings earthlings, just a wrap up on this auction i had recently, many thanks to KS for their generous bid, far too much. the proceeds have been donated and this is the receipt of said transaction. and it hasn't been photoshop’d. which is probably something you would say if you did photoshop it but i assure you i did not photoshop it. i mean, i did crop it in photoshop, it was an email sarah sent me. so in that sense, it was photoshop’d but not in a dishonest way. now this entire post seems incredibly suspicious. great.
in other news, if you’re on my mailing list, you’ll get a note when i’ll have these KOLCUTS™ / RADIATION BURNS™ for sale. and i’ll have plenty, so don’t despair. not plenty of any specific one, but plenty to choose from, so it’ll be fine.
otherwise, i am passing along these important links critical to getting through the current state of the world.
- should we have a national food shortage, this guide is critical to humanities survival.
- hunting for sustenance? these will help you track your prey.
- a ‘how to’ guide that i found both intriguing and informative, should things get very dire.
- signs that actually predicted these end times, and we missed them.
- in the future, will humans remain at the top of the food chain? possibly not.
in all seriousness….do i need to come out against racism and inequality? hopefully no one thinks that little of me. tstout goals - be kind, love fellow humans, treat everyone as i’d like to be treated. you’ve all been very kind to me, and i appreciate the moments we’ve shared. here’s to brighter days tomorrow.
captains log 0202
just an update on this charity auction, 10 hours to go. clearly we’re not experienced ebay users, an auction ending at 1:15 AM PST is not really prime time, but hey, live and learn. regardless, still time to bid, 100% of the proceeds go to our community’s YMCA, which - after closing its doors the past 3 months - has seen better days.
just to dangle an additional bone out there - the winning bidder can also choose a free handbill from all the other cuts i’ve done so far, OR (and this gets tricky) - request a specific portrait. nothing super crazy, and certain things (the cloverfield monster for instance), i might just have a heck of a time drawing. but hey, i’ll try to draw anything that the winner asks me to do. if its super good, i’ll add it to the next line of cuts. if its more of an aquired taste (billy zane from titanic for instance), it might be an edition of 1.
so, that’s it, thanks again!

greetings survivors - hope everyone is doing good. just a few rumblings from the lab. first off, i have a (gasp) thing for sale on ebay. or rather, sarah does. started an ebay account for it and everything. thought it’d be fun to do a radioactive burn cutout in response to all the stuff going on. or i was bored, either/or. but 100% of the funds go to my community YMCA, of which we are a part of. i’m a big fan of investing in my community, big fan of non profit outreach centers that make the world a better place. and spending time there, seeing people from all walks of life, its kinda what i think heaven is like. not in a weird way, i assume there won’t be work out equipment in the afterlife. but just people caring about people. neat stuff. ANYWHO, feel free to bid or not bid, won’t hurt my feelings, framed it myself, two panes of plexiglass and some pallet wood, pretty pleased with it. there’s a reason i am not building houses. ships framed, but easy to unscrew if you want to take it out, throw up a very fine lined stencil, then frame it back up.
also, we’ll have some more stencils for sale, coming up. available to all. other than those that already purchased one. 1 per person. while supplies last.
otherwise (man this is a long post), some other interesting links.
- hey, an interview, with me. tried for as low of quality video of me as possible, ideally it’d be just two pixels blinking, but great job by Anthony Krysiewicz, sharp as a tack, hilarious and all around good dude.
- a nice video of how this year is going so far.
- cool video that speaks to the talent of foley artists everywhere
- lastly, my family comes from norway. this is crazy.

200 logs later. amazing. we did it. so, final update from that last sale, i believe the last of the orders from this are going out. a bit about these items….i had a lot of fun learning this new process. i think they turned out cool. they started out pretty simple, then i probably went a bit overboard and here we are, the birth of Radiation Burns™, Quarantine Edition (ok i’m still working on the name).
let me know which ones are seen out in the wild and i can start to build a gallery on my site. otherwise i should be done with all orders. let me know if yours hasn’t arrived.
next up, try to get a movie poster approved. no problem.
til then -
- Star Wars Prequels - Guardians of the Galaxy Edition
- Star Wars Prequels - Nice Guys Edition
- Linda Ronstadt - Willin’. and you show me a sign.
- i don’t use reddit much because i am old and technology confuses me but my buddy twilson sent me these and they’re all gold.

shirts and a haircut - two bits. i have some older shirts that are gathering dust - literally, that i figured hey, time to clear up space. i know a lot of sizes missing, these would be referred to as ‘the dregs of society’ in shirttown. but they’ve never been worn, came to me good as new and now here we are. some years later. pick one up and use it as a fancy dish towel. one of those masks i’ve heard people talking about, perhaps? so many options. take note of the GHIBLI sizes / colors. i got a bit tired of listing every colorway as its own item so i grouped those all up under one item. Dark Grey, Light Heather Grey, etc.
other than that, those of you that ordered those $1 items, i appreciate your patience. i’m 99% there. just had to order some more paper and boom, off to the races. i think you’ll be happy. refunds are always available. anywho, will update once they ship. otherwise, enjoy the end of the world.
also, favorite movie monster? leave a note in the comments, i need ideas.
captains log 0198
greetings. supposedly everything has shipped. things should arrive. you should get emailed tracking. thats the way it used to work BEFORE THE FIRE NATION ATTACKED. it drives me crazy to find out someone never got something, people expecting something that never arrived. so, please email us for info about anything. if i said was going to send you a sticker, drop us a reminder. package arrived damaged? email us.
hopefully this week the $1 items will begin to ship. i believe they will be worth a dollar. we shall see. also, i’ll have a few shirts for sale, leftovers from the shipping. plus some older shirts i need to move to clear up space. nothing good, just extra stuff. let my junk become your junk!
til then:
- adam savage / kill bill frame up. heyooooooooooooooo. thats pretty cool.
- movie props, how do they work?
- blood quantum. seen. enjoyed. one of the few good zombie films of late.
- the thing discussion, original vs carpenter. i don’t agree with his opinion, but i enjoyed his discussion.
captains log 0197: shipper update
so, shipping update: sarah says everything but the shirt orders should be shipped by friday. if you don’t have tracking after that, please let us know. shipping the shirts soon after, so hopefully this time next week everything has arrived to its designated destination. I honestly don’t mind people emailing about order status, its my job, gotta keep sarah accountable. never ripped anyone off YET in…20 years of poster selling? can’t be that long. i’m not that old. don’t feel a day over 65.
ALSO - couple purchase notes: if you purchased this option on my shirt sale, you’ll be getting something else.
if you purchased this little feller for a dollar, i’m still constructigating these. obviously its what we call a LOSS LEADER, but have to make it something more than just a sticker and a smile. i think it’ll be worth the wait. lets just say i bought a large piece of machinery to help construct these. or cut me in half. win win as they say.
lastly, pretty happy with how these prints turned out, shout out to broken press, this welcome home version might be my favorite printed version. mostly since i’ve learned a few tiny things in the 15 years since i made it. hope you that picked up a copy are pleased as well.
ok, til next time -
- powerloaders, unite. kinda. ghoul friend. spooky.
- occasionally (ie all the time) i get sucked into those clickfarm articles. and this one was kinda a nice ‘if i was rich and traveled’ bucket list.
- speaking of clickfarms, this list is a hot mess. holy smokes. i mean, seriously. HOW ARE THESE RANKED? what is their criteria??? completely head scratchingly insane.
- speaking of hot messes, this list is a big HUH. i’ve seen many of these and some are great. some are not. saw the lodge recently. NOT GREAT. people go crazy all the time. spoiler alert. as a faithful reader of Elle magazine, you’ve really let your audience down.
- speaking of yo joe, sad to hear that Hector Garrido passed away. incredible artist. dream maker. empire builder.
- speaking of gi joes. obviously…as always…drop me a note if you have some joe lots gathering dust in your residence. always interested in talking trades. can’t make it happen every time (‘i have a slightly yellowed 1992 Headman with loose knees and a cracked elbow joint that i’d like to trade for a METAL KILL BILL’), but still, no harm in asking. always looking to tighten up my collection. these are my actual missing figures, but i sometimes take duplicates too.

well shoot, is this dream sequence still happening? are we really in quarantine or is this just a bug in the simulation? its like groundhog day only i don’t feel like i’m getting smarter, just more fat. weird how all my clothes don’t fit me now. sarah keeps shrinking them i guess.
so, update update updates. sarah is shipping this week, starting with older prints ordered, new prints have arrived, courtesy of brokenpress, amazing as always. shirts are almost here, those will ship next week. IF there are financial worries on your end, please don’t hesitate about asking for a refund, doesn’t hurt my feelings, totally understand. if you’d rather not go into it, just email me the codeword - ‘Blue Monday.’ we’ll get it taken care of, no worries, no questions.
also, we mentioned we were going to donate part of the proceeds from the sale to two charity groups. since we don’t know what our end shipping costs / printing costs are yet, we took a guess and did $2500 to each group and will make up the difference to each group after all is said and done, if we underestimated. so here are those receipts, No Kid Hungry / Open House Ministry. just doing my due diligence / transparency dawg. thanks again for everyone that contributed, you are the true givers. i merely benefit from the tax write off.
lastly, i have some links, some good, some bad. you decide.
- free games you say? some classics. doom of course. some duke nukem. etc
- how countries fight. i’m so glad all this fighting is behind us.
- interview with john workman, master letterer
- i was sad to hear about adam schlesinger. they did some amazing stuff.
- i enjoyed this blue monday video. makes me less blue. as did this owl city song.
- lastly, my sister wrote an article about her ongoing life in hong kong. she’s holding up, one day at a time.
double edit: thanks for all the kind folks to contact me, i think i got this nintendo business taken care of. OLD NEWS: i’ve been meaning to ask, anyone have a nintendo DS Lite they’re looking to trade? my son has been asking and i’ve been trolling the ebay, haven’t found the right one yet. if you got one gathering dust, lemme know. or gijoes of course, ha.
